TREMORS
How Key Economic Indicators are Faring
|
|
 |
Exports:
Surging
ahead at an average of more than 25 per cent in dollar terms over
the past quarter. Growth is spectacular in engineering goods, textiles
and gems and jewellery.
|
|
Agricultural
Production: An
expected bumper crop of 212 million tonnes in 2000-2001 coupled
with the existing stock of 40 million tonnes means a problem of
plenty.
|
 |
Inflation:
At 5.6 per cent, it hasn't reached panic levels. But consistent
northward movement should make planners sit up and take corrective
measures.
|
 |
Rupee
Value:
Speculation about an oil price hike in the wake of rising global
prices has seen the rupee take a plunge in recent months. A decision
either way could help.
